I've been to two, in Melbourne (1985) and San Francisco (1993) - they are fascinating, but exhausting! <BR/><BR/>Worldcons have multiple programming tracks - there probably will (and certainly should) be a children's SF programming track, so I would definitely check that out with the Con committee, especially if you have a children's SF book coming out around then.Tim Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14856414700019368658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264914780516321436.post-69634232608741019162008-11-24T13:22:00.000+13:002008-11-24T13:22:00.000+13:00Wow aussiecon has scored a coup.and look at how fa...Wow aussiecon has scored a coup.<BR/>and look at how far out they are planning 2010!<BR/>KSR is a good draw card and Red Mars is a great book on Mars...
